I started Scaldino Basement Solutions in 2010 to provide homeowners in Paterson, NJ with basement improvements that meet code and hold up over time. Egress window installation is part of that work. We handle the full scope at every property: foundation cut, framing, waterproofing, window well with correct clearance, cover, drain, and inspection. The goal is a legal, safe egress opening built to last in Paterson, NJ.
An egress window serves two functions in a Paterson, NJ basement: it provides natural daylight to the below-grade space and gives occupants a code-compliant emergency exit. Without both, the room cannot be classified as a legal bedroom under the New Jersey UCC. IRC R310 sets specific minimum opening dimensions and maximum sill height requirements. Scaldino Basement Solutions evaluates each Paterson, NJ property for wall thickness, soil conditions, and drainage before determining the correct window well size, depth, and drainage configuration for a fully compliant installation.
